Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
ReadString allocates a buffer, so saving it in a local variable and then forgetting it will not free the buffer afterward.
(This should probably be refactored to use some safer methods to read the string than this old-school method...)
Instead of overriding the Massacre method it is preferable to clear the flags causing the bad behavior, most notably ISMONSTER.

- now that the frame buffer stores its render time, the 'ms' return from I_GetTimeFrac is not needed anymore, we may just as well use the globally stored value instead.
The only feature this value was ever used for was texture warping.
* store the frame time in the current screen buffer from where all render code can access it.
* replace some uses of I_MSTime with I_FPSTime, because they should not use a per-frame timer. The only one left is the wipe code but even this doesn't look like it needs either a per-frame timer or a timer counting from the start of the playsim.
- moved timer definitions into their own header/source files. d_main is not the right place for this.
- removed some leftover cruft from the old timer code.
This fixes two issues:
* timer related texture animations are not being recreated multiple times if a scene renders multiple viewpoints (e.g. camera textures or portals.)
* interpolation is smoother when maps have a high think time of multiple milliseconds. A good map to see the difference would be ZDCMP2 which has a think time of 4-5 milliseconds. With the timer taken in real time after the thinkers have run and VSync on this resulted in alternating time slices of 11 and 21 ms between frame interpolations instead of an even 16 as should be done for smooth 60 fps because roughly every second frame was offset by those 5 ms.
For some files that had the Doom Source license attached but saw heavy external contributions over the years I added a special note to license all original ZDoom code under BSD.
Now all actors have the same metaclass and therefore it will always be the same size which will finally allow some needed changes to the type system which couldn't be done because it was occasionally necessary to replace tentatively created classes due to size mismatches.
